Hello guys, it has been a while isn't it. Here is the long awaited Chapter 15. I admit nothing massive to the plot happens but i like this chapter a lot.
"Hello, you are Anna are you not?" Lola asked one morning after ambushing me in the corridor. I nodded.
"So are you enjoying your stay at the Indigo Plateau?" I asked politely.
"oh yes its all very exiting here isn't it, all those little twerps constantly challenging my darling Bruno and the others." she said.
"They have long days of battling trainers, that is true" I replied.
"I will have to make sure I give Bruno a loving massage when he is all done for the day." Lola said.
"Yes err, I'm sure he will love that." I said, feeling a bit of an information overload. I wondered how i could excuse myself. I flinched as my phone vibrated in my pocket. I quickly moved away from Lola saying I had to make an important call. She was attempting to be nice, which at least was something but she seemed sort of like sometimes she was restraining herself from saying something. I would be polite and relatively friendly but would make sure to keep my guard up around her.
It appeared I wasn't the only one she had taken a liking to though. Despite her stating that meeting Bruno was like all her Christmas's coming at once, she seemed to always be on the prowl for Lance. This the dragon master, worked out fairly quickly. Whenever Lola was around, Lance was slightly tense and on his guard. I admit, I can't say I blame her as Lance is very appealing both visually and personality wise but she is supposed to be in love with Bruno. This I found slightly funny, much to Lances disapproval.
"Anna, this is seriously not funny, I think she's stalking me or something! What should I do?" Lance asked frantically, grabbing me in the corridor and pulling us to one side. He had obviously just escaped from Lola's sight. I shrugged.
"I'm not sure, hide better. Anyway she has an unhealthy interest in me too Lance don't forget" I pointed out.
"I wish I was in Will or Koga's shoes, at least they seem safe from her at the moment." Lance said. Hearing footsteps suddenly, we both froze in alarm. To our relief it was only Bruno passing through. Exhaling deeply, I thought of her strange arrival.
"Why did Bruno have to bring home such a flirt?" I sighed.
"Why does she like me?" Lance answered.
"Because Champion Lance, you are just that, the champion of this region." I pointed out.
"Chansey? Chansey? Where've you gone?" I called, walking into the main reception of the Indigo Plateau. I heard a noise from the foyer.
"Chansey!" I exclaimed racing to the Pokemon centre desk. The little pink egg-like creature hopped over to me, a small nurses hat perched on her head.
"Hey, you helping out Nurse Joy?" I asked glad she was doing something worthwhile. She hopped up and down happily, much to the annoyance of the trainers waiting to face the Elite Four.
"She doesn't like battling" I pointed out to the Ace trainer looking at Chansey in confusion.
"What good is she to anyone then?" A voice said sarkily. I glanced across the room. An orange haired male with a Loudred standing next to him glared at my Chansey. Instantly I defended her.
"There is more to life than just battling, ya know. Even I know that." The male scoffed.
"Oh yeah, you are just that weirdo who somehow got allowed to stay in the Indigo Plateau. Then again the Elite Four is made up of an old man and that freak we used to know, right Mightyena?" He said cockily. My eyes widened in shock. I know this guy! He is the one who harmed Will! My irritation turned to anger. The whole reception was watching the events unfolding. Normally I would have been shy in the situation but I was passed caring.
"Look! I don't know who you think you are dude, but I can guarantee you that you are not as hard as you think you are! Normally I would ignore scum as low and petty as yourself, but you have gone too far. First you insult the feelings of my Chansey, second you insult me and third you dared to harm the best friend I ever gained and physically hurt him just because you are jealous you are not talented in any way!" I snarled, furious he attempted to dominate me and my Pokemon in my own home. Chansey jumped forwards in agreement.
The male took a step back in surprise, obviously caught off guard by my aggressive rant. In seconds he gained his oversized ego again.
"Wow, you are seriously weird. You are a good match for those other freaks here. Mind you, the dark trainer is quite nice, I might claim her as mine once I destroy the others." He added, looking challengingly in my eyes. I was angry he thought of Karen as a piece of property, but didn't shout at him again. Instead I gritted my teeth and muttered one short word.
"Egg-Bomb" Chansey fired an explosive egg at my new rival, knocking him and his Loudred out. The Mightyena sleepily opened one eye before returning to its slumber.
As my anger disappeared I became aware of how many people were in the room. Embarrassed, I turned to Chansey.
"Well, umm….as long as you are ok I guess I will…..see you later" Uncomfortably I shuffled back into the long corridors strictly for the Elite Four. I could hear voices from the foyer. Apparently they were glad I knocked out that arrogant trainer.
"Oh boy, How am I gonna explain this to the guys" I said softly to myself. I instantly imagined Lance's reaction to the news I had knocked someone out.
About two hours later I was leaning over the balcony above Will's battle room. All around, the large cubes rose from the floor and floated around like bubbles caught on a slight breeze. Down below, Will stood, eyes fixed on the battlefield. When he battled it was like his personality changed. It was like that for all the Elite Four. Even Bruno who was surprisingly playful and comical off duty was filled with power and energy when battling. This in turn fired up their Pokemon to similar levels of enthusiasm. It was extremely clear that none of the Elite Four wanted to lose. My heart pounded in excitement whenever I watched any of them battling so intensely. Though I was above the field I saw Will flinch as his Girafarig was struck by a powerful soar beam from the opposing Venasaur.
"Finish this, Girafarig! Use Psybeam" The yellow Pokemon fired a beam of psychic energy at the now immobile grass type. It was a critical hit. The Venasaur gave a grunt of pain before fainting. The lass who had just lost gave a gasp of panic. It pleased me to see she feared for her injured Pokemon over her chances of fame and glory by beating Lance. Apparently Will liked her concern too.
"Unlucky. You almost beat us there." Girafarig nodded. "Just train your team a little more and you may be facing Koga soon" He added, returning Girafarig. The lass nodded and fled to Nurse Joy. Will tilted his head up.
"Having fun?"
"Loads, it makes me wonder why you don't pay people to come watch, you would get a fortune." I said imagining a crowds reaction to the intense battles.
"Not really our style. That seems more of a Hoenn/Sinnoh thing to me" Will said after a short moment of contemplation.
"Don't you insult my new bestest buddy Steven!" I said mock offended.
"Never come between a female and her secret crush." Will said, casually running a hand through his dark lilac hair.
"I do not have any sort of crush on Steven, just because I happen to have his phone number and ex Pokemon!" I retorted. Will laughed.
"I will tell you my secret ambition I want to accomplish in life here in Johto, if you want" I said resting my chin on my arms.
"Go on, enlighten me by giving me a brief insight into your very random mind." Will said glancing up at me, his eyes sparkling.
"Well, I want to have a go at sitting inside one of those humongous cubes that float around in this room. Like that one!" I said pointing at a very large cube rising steadily upwards. I imagined myself floating aimlessly around in one. Will looked at me, confused yet not completely surprised.
"Are you saying you love my stadiums aesthetics more than me?" Will questioned. Pausing I deliberated for a moment.
"I suppose you could put it that way." Will sighed.
"You know sometimes I wonder why I didn't leave you for dead in Union cave." He said, looking at me somewhere between worry, confusion and humour.
"Because you knew that you would never get to enjoy all these wonderful conversations we share if you did let a Geodude eat me." I answered. The psychic member tried to hide his amusement.
"Is there a reason you interrupted my battles with your lovely presence?" he asked. I straightened up an looked at Will in srprise.
"I think you find 1. Your battle finished before we started conversing and 2. It was you who talked to me in the first place. I was being all silent and inconspicuous" I answered. "Besides how do you know I haven't come to say I'm leaving you?" I questioned.
"Really, that's a shame. Oh well I guess now I can focus all my attention on your new best buddy Lola" Will said sarcastically, knowing that he would wind me up. I shot him a sharp glare.
"Don't even joke about that!" I hissed. Will half smiled, feeling he had the upper hand. My phone buzzed in my pocket. 1 New message from Lance the screen read.
"I wonder what the great dragon trainer wants" I said aloud.
"Who knows? He is very weird at times. Actually you make a good pair in that department" Will replied.
"Maybe that's why we get along well." I suggested
"Just don't leave me for him, that would look unprofessional." Will said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah because naturally that seems a good idea when he lives at the other end of our Hallway" I said equally sarcastic. "No for some reason Will, it was you i happened to grow fond of" I added.
"I feel honoured Anna, even if my large floating cubes have something to do with it" Will said smiling. I laughed.
Our playful arguing was interrupted by voices approaching from the nearby foyer. My thoughts began to go back to earlier that day.
"Oh Will guess who, I was unlucky enough to meet today" I began, trying to warn Will of my who was in the plateau and not very jolly, if my earlier encounter was anything to go by. I was broken off by the door opening allowing the latest challenger in.
"Humph, Lets hurry up and do this" complained a familiar voice. My jaw fell open in both surprise and caution as the sight of the rude trainer I knocked out earlier. Will looked equally alarmed.
"No way!" he muttered, eyes wide.
Will's expression soon changed, his eyes narrowed and burned with a new intense energy at his old "friend." I shifted towards the steep staircase, attempting to obscure myself from the males vision. The male smirked and released his Rhyhorn. Xatu sprang from its poke ball, it too remembered this boy and the day he hurt his master.
I was so engrossed in what was going on below on the battlefield, I was completely unaware of my surroundings. A small hand tapped my shoulder.
"Hey Anna what's going on?" Lola asked appearing suddenly to my right. Alarmed I sprung back in fright. Unfortunately that was the problem. I stumbled backwards before falling all the way down the steep flight of stairs.
"Ouch!" I murmured weakly feeling embarresse and a bit disorientated. Will glanced up.
"Oh no, please tell me that's not Anna" he murmured to himself.
"Oh dear" Lola said slowly her eyes on me in a crumpled heap. Will jogged round and up the stairs, much to his old rivals annoyance. As Will rounded the corner he sighed hopelessly.
"As if I expected anything else."
I quickly scrambled to my feet, my pride dented in front of two people I disliked.
"Don't you worry Will, I will take her to the medical room. She will be safe in my hands" Lola said firmly grabbing my arm and forcefully dragging me away down the corridor. I protested, not wanting to miss the battle. Will gave me a final sympathetic look before returning to his intense battle.
Well what do you all think? You can't deny it! If you've played HeartGold or SoulSilver you will of thought. "Wow look at those psychic cubes. I wish i could sit in one!" Hence the reason I decided to add that urge into this story since she is from our universe. Okay i should update soonish, please rate, review and all that stuff ^-^
